Privacy Policy

PicturesQuePhotoVideo (the site) is operated as an independent editorial catalogue. This page explains what data we collect, what we do not collect, how we use the data, and what rights you have. It applies to all visitors regardless of jurisdiction. Where local law (GDPR, UK GDPR, CCPA, PIPEDA) grants stronger protections, those protections apply.

Data controller

For the purposes of GDPR Article 13 and equivalent laws, the data controller is the editorial operator of PicturesQuePhotoVideo, established in Vancouver, BC, Canada. There is no EU representative because the site does not target the European Union as a primary market; EU visitors are nevertheless covered by the protections in this policy where applicable. Controller contact: editorial@picturesquephotovideo.com.

What we do not collect

We do not require an account to browse the catalogue. We do not collect names, postal addresses, phone numbers, payment information or any other personally identifying information from ordinary visitors. We do not sell, trade or share data with third-party advertisers or data brokers. We do not use third-party analytics scripts that profile users across sites (no Google Analytics, no Facebook Pixel, no Hotjar, no Segment, no comparable trackers). We do not run third-party ad scripts.

What we collect automatically

When you visit the site, our edge infrastructure (Cloudflare Workers + D1 database) processes the request to deliver the page. As part of that delivery, the following data is written to an internal log database:

  • Page views — every HTML page request logs the path, page type (homepage, category, software, etc.), IP address, user-agent classification (bot vs. human), and the referring URL (if your browser sends one). This applies to all visitors, including humans, not only bots.
  • Click events — when you click a download or call-to-action button instrumented for diagnostics, the page, button identifier, software slug (if applicable) and IP address are logged.
  • Bot identification — requests that match a known crawler signature (Googlebot, Bingbot, ClaudeBot, etc.) are tagged in the page-view log; the editorial team uses this to verify indexing coverage.
  • Error logs — when a page fails to render or a 404 occurs, the path, user-agent, IP address and referrer are logged so we can fix broken links.

None of this data is enriched with third-party identifiers. None of it is shared with advertisers, brokers, or third-party analytics platforms. It is not used to build behavioural or marketing profiles. Logs are retained until manually purged for operational review; we are working toward an automated rolling-window deletion of records older than 180 days. Until that automation is in place, logs may persist longer than 180 days. If you want a record tied to you (typically an IP address from a recent visit) deleted earlier, contact editorial@picturesquephotovideo.com with the approximate date and time of your visit.

Cookies

PicturesQuePhotoVideo does not set tracking cookies. The site may set strictly necessary technical cookies for session continuity or anti-abuse purposes (e.g., a Cloudflare anti-bot challenge cookie if you trigger a security check). These cookies do not identify you across sites and cannot be used for advertising. See our cookies policy for the current list.

Third-party services

The site is served by Cloudflare as the edge platform; Cloudflare may log request metadata on its own infrastructure under its own privacy policy. The site references font files from Google Fonts for typography; loading those fonts results in a request to Google’s CDN with your IP address and user-agent. The site may proxy software icons and screenshots through an internal image proxy; the image proxy fetches images from developer sites on your behalf, which means those developer sites see only our server’s IP, not yours. We do not embed analytics, advertising, or social-media widgets that would phone home with your data.

Your rights

You have the right to ask what data we hold about you, request its deletion, and (under GDPR) lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. Because we do not collect personally identifying information from ordinary browsing, in practice there is usually no record tied to you as an individual to delete. To exercise your rights, contact editorial@picturesquephotovideo.com.

Children

The catalogue is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect any data from children under 13 (or under 16 in jurisdictions where that threshold applies). If you believe a child has provided information, contact us and we will delete it.

Changes to this policy

If we materially change what data we collect or how we use it, we will update this page and the "Last reviewed" date at the top. Continued use of the site after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated policy. Substantive changes will be noted in the changelog at the top of this section.
